"I need the folder die-cut to hold a biz card, place it where I have indicated in the art. if you have an existing die please use that so it saves me money"4
any printer should be able to do all this- vellum aaahah wax papersted
- wax paper isn't vellum. where'd you go to school?Gnash
- it can be wax paper and i never said that vellum is way paper lolsted
- it can be wax paper in the same way an orange can be an apple.Gnash
- lol what? that's wax paper for example: http://sc01.alicdn.c…sted
- you can't print on wax paper you moron,Gnash
- That's for packaging - not for a print project. you would never spec wax paper for print.Gnash
- Gnash is right.monospaced

that "paper" isn't plastic by chance?

- you're an idiot if you would spec 'wax' paper for the menu thing pink has shown.Gnash
- not in a million years would a designer ask a printer to spec it on wax paper.Gnash
- shit i have to go down to the basement for that menu i made 10 years ago. it was a fucking awesome idea because it's cheap as fuck.sted
- lol @ running wax paper through a home printer once and saying it could be spec'd at a print shopmonospaced
- sted0
- it doesn't have the texture because it's not "vellum"Gnash
- used wax paper because the restaurant was be able to print out the menu pages in the cheapest possible way on a paper what they actually use for cooking :)sted
- what kind of printing on the wax paper? offset litho? Not laser, that would melt the waxmonospaced
- a printer would never run wax paper through a litho press either.Gnash
- inkjetsted
- lol. so your "pre-press' experience is on your home inkjet printer?Gnash
- 'Wax' paper isn't literally waxed these days though, is it? If it was it'd melt in the oven, the exact environment it's intended for.detritus
- look, it's okay not to know everything. I know as much about the digital world as you do about print.Gnash
- don't be confusing pickfloyd by offering your guesses.Gnash
- Gnash no. 3 months at a pharma prepress. and 10 years as operator and art-director. with many machine starts and impossible projects.sted
- @detrius not sure, but i know you buy wax paper at a grocery store, not a print shop.Gnash
- and please fuck off with this style.sted
- Sted, and you ran Wax paper through your presses?Gnash
- geez you actually read or just here to be the asshole? "restaurant was be able to print out the menu pages" on their OWN inkjet printer.sted
- not a single fucking person said that it's not vellum :( or that you aren't right. so please jerk it off already.sted
- pink wasn't asking to print it on his own printer.. i'm sure you could print on a slice of cheese at home if you wanted to. spec'ing for print is different.Gnash
- @detritus Wax paper in the oven?? No. It smokes and melts. Maybe you are thinking of parchment paper. That's the paper for the oven.ETM
- Right you are, ETM! I forgot what wax paper actually is there for a second - wrapping meat in the 1920's, not cooking pizzarolls in the 21st C :)detritus
- lol they still use that for wrapping :)sted
- wax paper has real wax on it, yesmonospaced

Publicide, here in NYC, printed the momofuku ko business cards (I used them for similar b-card stock and printing and they gave me one of those as a sample). Perhaps they printed the entire package.
Reach out to them - they're really nice: http://publicide.com/

The internet is a funny thing. I was at a watch forum and two grown men were arguing about chanel bags (one had to be temporarily banned). Here, two grown men are arguing about translucent paper. LOL
- ask the printer to spec it on wax paper. see what he says :)Gnash
- order it with vellum and jerk off master Gnash.sted
- what a fucking asshole you are i showed an example and explained whey they choose this solutionsted
- guys, hug it out :) btw, I don't know who either of you arepinkfloyd
- lolGnash
- @sted, you did write "it can be wax paper" after laughing at vellum, and you did reference your "prepress" experience, all while looking at pro workmonospaced
- so to then argue that this original image might be wax paper because you once used it in an inkjet is kinda ridiculous, all things consideredmonospaced

If the 'wax' paper's too contentious, do you Yankeedoodles have plain ol' tracing paper?
I buy some really thick stuff from a supplier here in London which comes in two grades, both of which are thicker than the sort of tracing stock I remmeber from school.
I assume tracing paper comes in A4 (or, again, whatever you Yankeedoodles call your paper sizes) sheets you can stick through a home printer?

- sorry. I really don't mean to be a dick.Gnash
- no worries I was an idiot, and never take me too seriously :)sted
- when you printed on wax paper, did you have to make sure you weren't printing on the side with wax on it?monospaced
